Independent art spaces operate at the intersection of community, culture and business. We Run This will feature speakers from areas of urban planning, regulation, policy advocacy, arts and academia from across the country to discuss ideas that have led to empowering communities to prosper culturally and economically.

Developing in prominence in the built environments of inner city and regional locations, are independent creative spaces the future of the prosperous community?

Speakers include John O’Callaghan (JOC Consulting), Alex Bowen (City of Sydney), Maria Miranda (research fellow from the University of Melbourne, writing on The Cultural Economy of Artist-Run Initiatives in Australia) and representatives from Alaska Projects, Boomalli, First Draft, Sawtooth ARI, M16, Watch This Space and Project Contemporary. 

We Run This is co-presented by 107 Projects and the National Association for the Visual Arts; and supported by SAMAG (Sydney Arts Management Advisory Group).

This event is contributing to Vivid Sydney 2016. For more information please click here.
